Atlas — Today's Daily Puzzle
Guess the country from its name and location.
Atlas is a free daily geography game: the target country's name starts fully masked, and every guess you make reveals one more letter of it while telling you exactly how far away — and in which direction — the real country lies from your guess. There's no map to stare at and no trivia to memorize; the distance and bearing feedback alone is usually enough to walk you to the answer within a handful of tries, and the flag itself only appears once the round ends. Free, no signup, one new country every day at 00:00 UTC, with unlimited practice in between.

Open a hint only when you are stuck — they are ordered from gentlest to most direct, and none of them give the answer away.
Hint 1: Open with a guess near the middle of a continent
A central, well-known country gives you the clearest read on distance and direction — the feedback from an edge-of-continent guess is more ambiguous about which direction to correct next.
Hint 2: Direction matters more than distance early on
A big distance with a clear compass direction narrows the whole globe down to one hemisphere-ish wedge immediately. Chase the direction first; use the distance mainly to judge how far to move.
Hint 3: Combine the revealed letters with the geography
By your third or fourth guess you'll have a letter or two plus a tight distance-and-direction reading. Cross-reference both — a revealed first letter alongside 'close, slightly north' usually narrows things to one or two candidates.
We never publish the solution here — the daily board is shared by every player worldwide.
